| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, with an estimated mortality rate of 140,000 per year, or one maternal death every 4 minutes. Aim of the work: The aim of this study was to report the success rate of intrauterine balloon tamponade and to elucidate factors that influence the success rate. Patients and Methods: This study was carried out to evaluate the predictive factors for success of uterine balloon tamponade in managements of post-partum hemorrhage. Results: During the study period, 1.965 deliveries occurred at our hospital. A total of 470 cases (4.29%) of these women experienced a PPH within 24 h. A total of 77 cases (0.7%) women had a balloon tamponade as 71 cases (92.2%) with Bakri balloon insertion &other 6 cases (7.79%) with foley's catheter insertion. Discussion: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, with an estimated mortality rate of 140,000 per year, or one maternal death every 4 minutes. PPH occurs in 5% of all deliveries and is responsible for a major part of maternal mortality (ACOG, 2006). Summary: Primary PPH is defined as excessive bleeding that occurs in the first 24 hours after delivery. | ||
